Hinshaw Kids and Barbra Landis;

Since we are going back East in June, a trip to Carlisle
is not in the cards at the end of August.

Should any of you wish to represent the memory of Alice G.
Renfrew (Renfrow, Renfro) (Alice G. Grass) (Gertrude A. Foreman)
(Gertrude Hinshaw) please feel free to do so.  I have blind Cc:'ed
some other Shawnees who may have had ancestors who
attended Carlisle.

Barbara Landis ( blandis@epix.net ) is finalizing the dedication as
you can see below and you can contact her if you wish.

Alice G. Renfrew, her first cousin, Pearl Tecumsah Bluejacket and Pear's
sister, Mamie Bluejacket, all attended Carlisle from 1893 to 1896.  Your
great great grandmother, Emma Bluejacket, was Gertie's mother and
Stephen S. Bluejacket was Emma's brother.  Stephen S. was Pearl and
Mamie's father, hence the first cousin relationship.  Henry Bluejacket
was the father of Stephen S. and along with Henry's brother, George
Bluejacket, signed the Shawnee Treaty of 1854 in Washington DC.
Henry and George had a brother, Charles Bluejacket, that attended
the treaty, singing as a U. S. Government Interpreter as a witness.
Charles was ordained as a Minister in the Methodist Church in 1859.

Henry's brother, George, was the first Shawnee Indian to write a
manuscript about the history of the tribe, doing so in English in 1829.
Henry was about two years older than George. Both were sons of
George Bluejacket, who was the son of Blue Jacket, the last
principal War Chief of the Shawnee Tribe.  Blue Jacket led a
consortium of Great Lakes Algonquin tirbes against the U. S. Army
headed by Major General Arthur St. Clair in 1791, killing 600 and
wounding  another 300 of that Army of 1300.  That three hour battle
resultee in the worst defeat the U. S. Army ever suffered at the hands
of Natinv Americans.  In turn, General Anthony Wayne defeated
Blue Jacket in 1794. By signing the Teaty of Green Ville in 1895, Blue
Jacket and other chiefs sealed the elimination of formal warring
between the United States and Native Americans east of the Mississippi.
Tecumsah had been mentored by Blue Jacket after the former's father
died in 1774 in the Battle of Point Pleasant between the Shawnees and
the Royol Governor of Virginia Colony, Lord Dunsmore.

Tecumsah attempted to continue ridding Northwest Territory of Americans
after 1795 but failed in his efforts.  It did, however, render him into the
most
famous of American Indians.  Tecumseh was never a chief of the Shawnee
Tribe but certianly was a forceful leader. He died in 1813 at the Battle of
the
Thames River in Canada, fighting with the Brititsh agains the U. S.
